Goldfish in a glass-tile night
An orange mosaic fish occupies a turquoise bowl beneath an ornamental arch. Daylight colors give way to deep blue celestial scenes, scattered bright tiles, tiny fish and a gold fish-shaped constellation.
Adapt this treatment to a terrarium or botanical specimen using a single tessera vocabulary for the subject, vessel and architectural frame. Arrange tiles concentrically around curved surfaces and use contrasting warm tiles to distinguish the focal organism. Build related daylight and nocturnal compositions, then reuse selected tile colors as scattered accents and a symbolic outline above the vessel.
